We stopped at the bookstore where my husband works. My granddaughter Carly begged her Opa to buy her a new bible. Opa will do anything for Carly, so she got to pick out a brand new bible. No sooner did we get home when I caught her drawing on the cover in permanent ink. “Oh!” I gasped, then caught myself; a closer look melted my heart. There on the front cover she proclaimed in first-grade fashion:
Name: Carly: a girl of God’s word.
This she topped off with an illustration of her self. My heart caught in my throat as I whispered to God “Let it be so Lord Jesus, let it be so.”
